The Number System
Cluster: Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply and divide rational numbers.
KY.7.NS.1. Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram. (MP.2, MP.4, MP.7)
KY.7.NS.1.b. Understand p+q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative. Show that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses). Interpret sums of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
KY.7.NS.1.c. Understand subtraction of rational numbers as adding the additive inverse, p-q=p+(-q). Show that the distance between two rational numbers on the number line is the absolute value of their difference and apply this principle in real-world contexts.
KY.7.NS.1.d. Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract rational numbers.
KY.7.NS.2. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers. (MP.2, MP.7, MP.8)
KY.7.NS.2.a. Understand that multiplication is extended from fractions to rational numbers by requiring that operations continue to satisfy the properties of operations, particularly the distributive property, leading to products such as (–1)(–1)=1 and the rules for multiplying signed numbers. Interpret products of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
KY.7.NS.2.c. Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide rational numbers.
KY.7.NS.3. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. (MP.1, MP.2, MP.5)
Expressions and Equations
Cluster: Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations.
KY.7.EE.3. Solve real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form, using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. (MP.1, MP.4, MP.6)
KY.7.EE.4. Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem and construct equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities. (MP.2, MP.4)
KY.7.EE.4.a. Solve word problems leading to equations of the form px+q=r and p(x+q)=r, where p, q and r are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms. Graph the solution set of the equality and interpret it in context of the problem.
